I am so excited to be working with such a great group of talented professionals and producers. Max and Wrigley is inspired from a wonderful book series with such a positive message for kids. There isnt enough of that out there these days. It is an amazing group of professionals and to take such a wonderful book series and bring it to life in a cartoon will be an amazing process.
